speaking of his poems, i have recently read three, Sonnet 1, sonnet 2, and Shakespeare's "Sonnet #18." I love all of the poems, but if u had to rate them, Sonnet #18 was my favorite. The theme of this sonnet states that his women's beauty is eternal and will live on forever, he also used poetic devices. These devices are one metaphor. He asks a metaphorical question in line one: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day. Shakespeare uses "the eye of heaven" as a metaphor in this line to describe the sun. Line three, "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May," tells why the woman's beauty is greater than that of a summer's day. In lines seven and eight the speaker ends the complication by describing how nature is never perfect. "Eternal summer" in line nine is referring back to the woman's eternal beauty, using summer to symbolize beauty, and saying that the woman's beauty will never fail like the summer's beauty. This emphasizes the woman's beauty and how the woman is viewed by the speaker. Line nine starts the resolution of the poem by using "but". There is a rhyme scheme in the poem. The rhyme scheme is as followed, ababcdcdefefgg. Even though sonnet one came first in history I am writting about them in the order of the one I liked the best to the one I liked the least. Sonnet one is in the middle, it's an ok poem, but having to translte it to present tense speach took away from the overall enjoyment of the poem. After two days of reading the sonnet and translating it I was able to discover the poetic devices, and the rhyme scheme. The poetic devices Shakespeare's Sonnet 1 has are: Allegorys and alliterations every now and again. The rhyme scheme of Sonnet 1 is, abcdbefghii. The theme of Shakespeare's sonnet 1 is,
